It will be strange to not see his username appearing; real shame to hear. Best wishes to his friends and family at this time.

It is a terrible shame. He held on bravely to get to Villa Park at the end of the season and from one Lions Club to another we send our deepest condolences.

Thanks but I just get "An Error Has Occurred! You are not allowed to access this section". Maybe it's mods' privileges.

One of his last posts was in mid March defending Bennett and saying he would come good.

With him showing promising signs at the end of last season, it would be fitting if he has a stormer of a season next year.

If he does, then I'll think of Rutski's view in amongst mostly negative ones (including mine).

I remember some of his posts, my thoughts go to his family.

Alas, another holte ender in the sky

Kind of brings home to you that when one of us lot passes on, even if not a particularly regular, noticeable poster, it's still quite affecting. Obviously the Villa bonds us, but it's more than that. A community of people who discuss and bicker and say funny and silly things in equal measure. And yet, we in most cases will never meet in person. A curious achievement of the modern age I guess.

Oh dear that's sad. It's odd to feel that way about someone I've never met and have no personal knowledge of. But this is a community of sorts and I guess we build up affection for each other. RIP Rutski.

By the way, can everyone else try not to die. Cheers.

[Toronto Villa]

very sad indeed. Hope he went peacefully. Thoughts are with his family at this time.

[Axl Rose]

Rest in peace Mark. Thank you for all the streams and amusing personal messages regarding the Villa. My thoughts are with you and your family. Holte Enders in the sky.
